Use AI to rewrite your patient education materials for a lower reading level and better comprehension.
Many patient handouts and discharge instructions are written at too high a reading level, which can confuse patients and reduce adherence. AI can help you take an existing handout or instructions you've drafted and rewrite it for better clarity and accessibility—typically aiming for a 5th to 8th grade reading level. Just paste your current patient education text into ChatGPT or Claude and ask it to simplify the language, shorten sentences, and avoid medical jargon. The AI will give you a clearer, more patient-friendly version that's easier to understand. You can then review and adjust it to match your style and ensure accuracy. Always review the AI-generated text carefully before sharing it with patients. Make sure all medical information is accurate and appropriate for the individual patient's situation. Never include real patient information in the AI tool—work only with generic templates and examples.
